Silly Board rack question..

Is it safe to put wakeskates on boat board racks? Will they stay put? I'm terrified of putting one on then having it fly off and hit someone. That would hurt! Embarassed

as long as your straps are tight enough i think you'll be ok

i think it would work if you got the straps and junk to hold it on, im not sure tho because wakeboards have bindings to kinda keep em on there

yeah, i was wondering the same thing...we shall see tomorrow if they stay on our flight clips. we will probably end up putting them in the rear ski lockers.

then again, i wonder if i can fit it in with another wakeboard in one slot. that should tighten the fit up a bit and keep em sat.

I've never had a problem w/ it (on friends boats, i don't have one)

HA! HELL NO THEY DONT STAY ON! we tried it today, and when we started up the thing slid right to the end to where the fin was holding it on, but i was right there ready to catch it when we tried it out.

colefooter, your post was pointless. its not like he is going to not use the straps "and junk". Rolling Eyes

on my flight clips, we have the cross the strap...but once you cross it it works fine...

alright, ill try that tyler moore. the clips end just a little under the midpoint of the board and dont even keep the fins from sliding through, at least on the 04's. i will try crossing them, thanks for the info.

Been putting one my racks w/ no problems. I think it depends on the design of your racks. Put it in the rack and see how tight it is held. If it has any play then I'd think twice about it...or maybe something to modify the fit.
